I think you could definitely hack something like that, but IMO as soon as you strart to introduce statefulness, other protocols start to make more sense.
Therfore, In the above example, i like number 3 the most, it leverages another protocol that is great for managing state
Ecash is kinda inherently stateless, because links get broken after every token creation. So you would have to manually upkeep that state somehow, which kinda defeats the purpose.
But I think that's OK, because there are other things (like L402, JWT, etc..) that handle state well!
wow, i said state so many times....
We need to separate the web from the state
One thing worth mentioning, the complexity of a stateless system is just so much lower than a stateful one, that it makes sense from an engineering perspective to consider if state is really necessary or if it's just an excuse to track users :P
But of course, sometimes you definitely need state/accounts/users , in which case PROXNUT may not help much

Thanks for the feedback!
I know a few companies in the space looking for something that I've described above so I appreciate your thoughts there. I do like method 3 as well and like that ecash API tokens would still be useful even if it is not being used for a forward-looking privacy preserving method, for state requirement reasons.

appreciate your insights too!
